Kiss co-founders Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have set a new opening
date for their area Rock & Brews restaurant and bar. It is now scheduled to open in early 2014.

A year ago, Rock & Brews announced a fall 2013 opening in Overland
Park’s Prairiefire development, now under construction on 135th Street
between Lamar and Nall Avenues.

Rock & Brews celebrates
“rock & roll, beers, burgers, brats, pizza and more.” The
6,000-square-foot venues feature casual American cuisine, a full bar
including premium wines and craft beers, and an atmosphere reminiscent
of a backstage concert environment featuring concert lighting, multiple
televisions and concert-style rock music. The Prairiefire location will
have a heated outdoor patio and play area for children.

Stanley
and Simmons said they have opportunities to open Rock & Brews
around the world, but they are planning a methodical expansion of the
brand. Three locations are open in California and Mexico, and four more
are in development in California, Hawaii and New Mexico.

Prairiefire is a 58-acre, mixed-use development that
will future upscale restaurants and retail, entertainments, large
outdoor recreational area, luxury residences, a Shade luxury boutique
hotel, and office spaces.
